i♥oc: Today Is The Big Day

Now that you’ve had a few weeks to think about it, which charity are you going to give to? Take this opportunity and help a cause close to your heart. Will it be Discover Science Center of OC, or Make-A-Wish Foundation of OC? Perhaps you are a fan of the arts and feel the gift should go to Muckenthaler Cultural Center Foundation or Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Maybe it’s the Boys & Girls Club or helping the AIDS Services Foundation of OC. It really doesn’t matter which charity you pass your contribution on to because they are all deserving.

#iheartoc Giving Day

A few weeks back, The JetSet Family partnered with Orange County Community Foundation in celebration of #iheartoc Giving Day on April 21st. #iheartoc Giving Day from April 21, 2015 to April 22, 2015 will allow donors a 30 hour window to participate in a virtual online telethon in hopes of raising $2 million dollars for nonprofits of Orange County. We announced a very special giveaway that granted three winners the opportunity to grant one Orange County charity a $150 gift card courtesy of Orange County Community Foundation.

So once again, what are you waiting for? With over 350 Orange County charities participating, your donation will stay local and benefit the community as a whole.

Give Where Your Heart Lives

Every dollar counts and every contribution will make a huge difference. I hope you will forego that fancy latte today and be a part of the solution.

Visit iheartoc.org for more details about OCCF and to find your favorite OC nonprofit. You can also make a difference by following OCCF across social media on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Show Us Your Heart

On behalf of Orange County, OCCF and the numerous OC nonprofits, thank you and I hope you will join me in making a difference on i♥oc Giving Day.

Founder + Creative Officer • Nicole Standley

Armed with the latest issue of Vanity Fair, oversized sunnies, and her boarding pass, you can find Nicole Standley on a perpetual mad dash collecting airline miles and passport stamps while discovering everything that is wonderful in the world.

When she’s not wrangling her husband from baggage claim, or coaxing her pint-sized foodie from the airline’s club lounge, this pop culture aficionado is obsessed with Instagram and not afraid to admit her imaginary besties are Gwyneth Paltrow (Hi goop!) and still owes Drew Barrymore a mix tape…long story.

When she’s not sprinting to catch her next flight and flying the friendly skies, she calls Southern California home where she loves spending time exploring local restaurants, going to concerts, soaking up the outdoors, and having nightly kitchen dance parties while cooking dinner with the loves of her life, JetSet Hubs and JetSet Kiddo.

The JetSet Family began almost a decade ago as a collection of Nicole Standley’s favorite trends in travel, style, food + wine, pop culture and live events. In addition to sharing the best-of-the-best on JetSetFam.com, Long time travel + lifestyle contributor for publications such as CBS Los Angeles and Huffington Post, Nicole is a brand ambassador for O, The Oprah Winfrey Magazine, Netflix Stream Team, and Hilton Hotel’s family travel website, HiltonMomVoyage.

In 2016, she was named Top Family Blogger by Red Tricycle, TravelBreak and Trip Advisor. Over the last decade, The JetSet Family has expanded to become a trusted source within the parenting and lifestyle communities both on and offline and continues to grow as she shares only the things she loves most on The JetSet Family.

In 2017, Nicole spoke about travel + lifestyle blogging at Mom 2.0 Summit in Orlando and ConnectHER in Las Vegas.
